Author Registering Second Tomtom

Hi
I have a Tomtom One which I registered last December and bought speed
camera alerts. Each month I get an email to update. I find updating
quite exhausting, its not exacty as straight forward as I would like.

Anyhow this week I was lucky enough to win a Tomtom 720 from a
Halfords competition.
Silly me went into my Tomtom Home and registered the new sat nav. I
then bought the speed cameras for this.

Today we took the new sat nav out and it already has the speed cameras
so I really did not need to buy it.

I then tried to update my old sat nav (the Tomtom One) and then my big
problems started. I tried to back up before I updated the speed
cameras and I seem to have lost everything on it. But on reading
various web-sites tonight I think my problem is that

A - You can't register a second product
B - the old sat nav is locked

I am afraid I am a bit thick. On the Tomtom Home it appears that you
can register all your products so I really do not understand what has
happened.

I have emailed Tomtom and asked for help - I don't know when I will
get an answer and even if I do if I will understand it.

I am feeling really stupid but there does not appear to be any help
from the disk or booklet.

Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Many thanks
Inger

You can register multiple products but stupidly TomTom require unique
email addresses for each new device.
